go to C:\Windows\System32 subdirectory and sort by date modified. Look at all the most recent files, especially those that carry the date when

things started to go wrong and later. Right click these files individually and study the date created and date accessed, if you can find a file the was

created on the day things went wrong and has been accessed within the last hour or so, then this could be the problem file. Mine was "gwquvw.dll"

so look for something that is not obviously a system file and move it into the recycle bin, if nothing changes look for other similar files and do the

same. If this still doesn't work restore the files from the recycle bin in case they are needed. Other than that I have no other info I can give you at

this time. Good luck, enjoy a beer for me too. lol. Good luck Deji Sunday

I got the error. sorry my fault. lol

@Talk to ahmed. hold down windows logo + R on your keybaord and type inside the box explorer you should see users document, if you see

something else then is a 100% virus. try brining up task manager and if you have explorer.exe if you do then try checking it out could well be a virus

Having said that of cause you need to tell us what the error is you cant just say explorer error there are plenty of errors. or bringup run and type in the

box eventvwr try checking for any errors and also try using C cleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/download Good luck!

I also ve those too just trying something new fresh n u r welcome.

Just log off and log back in again to download the Avant Browser. Have spent the last 5 minutes checking it out and I must confess is very good

cool features such as auto scroll without the need of using your scroll bar also you can it translate language. grease to your elbow. nice one

Deji Sunday

I have firefox, IE 8 and Opera I would certainly try this. Thanks for sharing.

@ michelin89 I read your Blogs @ http://climiesasmichy..com I must say is very good. nice one

@Poster to be honest that isnt enough. I think you need to consider our economy. Good luck However!

Window 7, Vista or XP

open disk management and check if windows detects your external hard disk drive.

Absolutely. @ poster. well done for carryout some diagnostics make things easier for us.

Could well be your PC MOBO doesnt support HI speed Usb device

and apart from that when unsupported device is connected you

should get an error message or conflict in device manager

or prompt to install the software like the previos

tec has said try using disk management to check if detected

or open My computer to view. Good luck

I need urgent assistance for my acer aspire 5000 dvd drive.it selects discs.what i notice is that,sometimes,whenever i insert a disc,i hear a slight cracking sound and such disc won't play.it shows 'no disc'.it doesnt do that with some discs.my laptop is on windows xp sp2 and d dvd/cd-r is sosc-2483k.please,help me out.pls,i'm waiting

I do appreciate all infor provided just make things more easier for the tecs. right ! Does it play any other disk ?

When does the problem start ? Do you hear scratchy noise if another disk is inserted ? Does the disk have any dirt or particles on the surface ?

Open My computer and check to make sure your CD drive is listed which is usually D drive


could well be a problem with your Secondary IDE contoller Ok, I take it you know how to get to device manager if not use google. when there look

for IDE/ATAPI CONTROLLER Click on the +Right click on each items and click uninstall click ok please please ! dont tick the box to delete as this

would delete the softwareafter that close devmgr then Restart your system for changes to take effect. you might be ask to restart thrice if so just

allow it. Good luck

@Remii Thanks deji2009 but I do not intend to remove the kaspersky software, the issues is that, this software would not remove or disinfect detected threats after scan, instead it recommended "skip" for most of the threats most of which were tagged very dangerous, please advise on what I can do to remove the threats.

Ok, in a professional world I wont advice to sacrifice your time doing this. would be much better you reformat everything back to scratch.

Having said that of course here a free utility commonly use by our customers @ the Tec http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html

Good luck

Deji you're doing a good job here. Keep it up.

Thanks! we are all doing a great job here.

I use it on my Nokia N95. cant do without it

just save me the stress of flipping pages.

Technology has come to stay.

Password Denied
« on: Today at 05:06:03 PM »

My System refused to Log on with my Username and Password after installing some update.
The window version is Vista Core Duo, Sony Vaio.
Fellow Compatriots i need your help.

I"ll take it is Windows Vista or XP. well, am guessing is Vista and the error message you"re likely getting is User account fail service logon. just a

guess anyway. I wont think you"ve forgot your password. did you ? well, if the laptop isnt accepting the password you should be presented with

an error message

Or what colour is the screen is it Blue, Purple, Black or could someone have set a Bios password ?

What happen when you try loggin in. A simple question is are you the only user ? for now turn off the laptop please back on again dont

wait for anything else keep pressing F8 until you come to a blank screen that says Advance Option use your arrow key to scroll down

and highlight Safe Mode then press enter should ask you for password try entering it if no joy then afraid just best bet would be to reformat this

laptop back to scracth meaning you need to backup all prudent data such as document, music, videos etc. Good luck

well, I really dont know what to say.

When u formated your system PC u lost your sound driver.

Download the sound driver for your laptop and install it.

Fair enough. @ poster can you please check Volume is turned up and not muted. also next time please try and specify if you"re on Vista or XP.

Try gettting to device manager to verify if you have sound drive installed. for infor on getting to device manager try googling it and you"ll see step by

step infor on how to verify that. since we dont know whether is XP or Vista it wont be prefessional of me asking you to downnload drivers. Good luck

I bought kaspersky 2009 internet security from Walmat, it requested the removal of all other anti virus from my laptop before installation and activation which I did

you need to use Kerpesky removal tool to remove it by visiting http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208279463


Good luck

guys, i just bought a new labtop.the problem is that i cant using all my micosoft packages.they always request for product key number.can somebody in the

house help me?

INTOM

I take is Microsoft office not Windows itself ? well, the question is how did you install the package ? through the internet, CD ?

If by disk then there should be a product key at the back of your CD sleeve. if download from the internet then you need

to visit http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/office/whyvalidate.aspx?displaylang=en Good luck

@deji2000 please is the microsoft update a software that can be bought off the shelf? or is it an online update sequence? i really do appreciate your effort in responding to queries on this forum, all of the solutions i get here have been really helpful not only to me but to others. thanks to all who provide help in this section.

well, you said it all. is a sequence. I take is XP/Vista you"re using. if yes windows update can be schedule to install without your input. Good luck

I would like to know if a dell laptop BIOS can be updated at computer village , Ikeja.If yes where exactly . I have a dell d600 but i don't want to carry out the update myself as i was told any little mistake and the system is gone .

A simple question a technician would often ask is. why do you want to update your Bios ? That the first thing. Good luck

There is no how you can delete Administrator account without using another administrator account, so tell us what exactly happened.
for the mean time, boot your system in safe mode and use the main "administrator" account .

100% right collins. @ user were you asked for a password before deleting ? like my colleagues has said get to safe mode by restarting your

workstation dont wait for anything keep pressing F8 until you see advance option use the arrow to highlight safe mode and press enter

dont be alarm! your icons/text will big to 640 by 480 reslotion mode. Just thought I educate you on that. lol. anyway bro

get to safe mode then get Run box by pressing windows logo + R and type in the box C:\users\user press enter then try seareching for your files

who knows anything can happen in IT there are many option to try there's never right or wrong answer. try checking the recycle bin

if not then try using system restore by click start, accessories, all programmes, system tools and system restore. Good luck !

It would have easier if you persist that your friend should ask how her friend does it since it is clear that you can not download with operamini 4.2 and you are not assigned with such privillege by your mobile internet service provider.
Thanks, javascript:void(0);_philcool

Yeah. it also depend on the device you"re using e.g. windows mobile or Nokia. doesnt really matter whether your service provider allow you or noy.

should be abe to download it. like the previous tec said it would be easier if you can ask your how he/she downloaded it. Good luck
